Brad May in for Ville Leino tonight for Red Wings at Anaheim

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Forward Brad May will be back in the lineup tonight for the Detroit Red Wings against the Anaheim Ducks. May, who missed one game with a lower-body injury, will replace Ville Leino.

But that has more to do with the Wings needing May's size and toughness against a big, rugged Ducks team, which is expected to have center Ryan Getzlaf back from injury (leg laceration, four games) tonight, than Leino's performance in Saturday's 4-1 win in Phoenix.

“I never gave him much of a chance against Phoenix (7:05 in ice time), it was just the way the game went,'' coach Mike Babcock said. "I want May in the lineup for this game. I don’t think this is one of those ones where I sat out Ville because he didn’t compete.''

Henrik Zetterberg (separated shoulder) will not play. He and Dan Cleary (separated shoulder) are targeting Thursday's game in Los Angeles for their return.
